1. VA Interest rates are the same at all types of lending institutions – False. Depending on the level of overhead a company has (salaries, rent, advertising) will eventually makes it way into the pricing which will effect the rate the company is offering. The lower the overhead, typically the lower the interest rate. It always pays to shop around for an independent mortgage broker who can offer their wholesale pricing.

3. You can only have one VA loan at a time – False With VA you have what’s called second tier entitlement which may allow you to purchase another home while converting your current home into a rental. This is a great way to build wealth through real estate.
4. VA loans take a long time to close – False VA loans can typically close within 30 days or less. Most times quicker than FHA and some conventional loans. Depending on the speed of the appraiser and willingness of the seller to move out, you can close a VA loan in 20-25 Days.
